Prep ~ Shower, Birch tar soap
Razor ~ Henkckels #13
Soap ~ Cyril R Salter Tallow
Brush ~ Omega Pro 49
Post ~ BBA Post Shave Balm
Scent ~ Afrika-Olifant from Nishane

A trouble free shave, good soap, a good sharp blade and a steady hand, skin as smooth as a mill pond.
Finnished with Afrka Olifant which I love but my dog always gets a little strainge around me when I'm wearing it!

Have a great day folks, P.
 
'Soap': Gillette gel
Razor: Gillette Super Blue (latter-day Tech)
Blade: Sputnik(4)

Having packed up the Newbie box last night, I'm already missing the soaps. I hate the scent of this gel.

The positive to take from this shave is it's the first time I've tried the Tech with a shim, and whilst it's still too light I'm finally happy to use it. Good to see I didn't just throw away my £2.51. I may try it with a heavier handle next.
 
Brush: SOC 2b
Razor: Weber PH
Soap: I Coloniali Mango Oil
Balm: Nivea
Aftershave: Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore

...my shaves are a little off at the moment, I think my skin is adjusting to the warmer weather. Love the I Coloniali Mango Oil Soap and hope that it comes back into production soon. The scent on Razorock's Santa Maria del Fiore is a winner for me...

Simpsons Milk Churn
Schick Repeating Razor
Schick Proline B-20 (4)
PAA 11235
Thayers Rose, Nivea Balm & 4711 aftershave and cologne

I think I have cracked this razor, a good shave but not perfect BBS all over, I have yet to get a BBS with any injector razor. Happy with it though. Tried ATG and it went well, especially on my neck. A late change with Thayers instead of alum, took some skin off my finger last night starting my petrol mower and I didn't fancy screaming like a baby this morning :D

Soap and brush are a match made in heaven, along with the scent.​
